'The Motorola Milestone is an excellent smartphone and proof that 2010 will be the year of the iPhone alternative . '

'The phone is really good for listening to Rock, Metal and Classical music.'

'Milestone is a terrible name for a phone, especially when the handset in question is pretty hefty (165 grams): after the capital heavy, vowel-less fun of RAZR, PEBBL and DEXT (presumably BRCK didn’t make the cut as a potential name), it seems Motorola is taking itself very seriously indeed.'

'But more than that, the Milestone has been hailed as Motorola's comeback phone following the company’s recent shaky performance. '

'having said as much, i do like this phone very much. i previously tried out the samsung a900 for 2 weeks and thought that the design of the samsung was missing two crucial elements: memory and battery life. sanyo got both right in m1, and more.'

'Sanyo uses that gigabyte as a springboard to give the phone as much multimedia juice as possible.'

'as today's phones are so slim and slender in comparison.'

'Don't get me wrong - at roughly twice the thickness of your standard "slim phone," this handset bulges noticeably in the pocket of all but the baggiest pants. '

'Our one big complaint about the phone: If you want to dial a number that's not in your address book, you have to open the screen first so that you can access the keyboard/dial pad, then close it again to use it as a phone--a really cumbersome setup.'

'We were actually quiet surprised with the Sidekick and its performance.'
